Italy-r Renaissance Bangalir Sangskriti by Amalesh Tripathi [Hardcover]

In a detailed introduction to this book, renowned historian Amalesh Tripathi elaborates on when and how his curiosity about the Renaissance began, as well as when he first started studying the subject. This book consists of two complementary essays. The first one presents the latest research on the Italian Renaissance. Besides a critical analysis of the influential Renaissance scholar Burckhardt, it focuses on key aspects such as the economic background of the 14th and 16th centuries, various phases and forms of Humanism, and the influence of Classicism, Realism, and Neoplatonism on intellectual thought and artistic creation.

The second essay explores the search for ideals in modern Bengali culture, with a particular emphasis on the conflict between tradition and modernity.
